today, i recieved my new 200mw red laser from o-like.com, it can be
purchased here: New Style red laser
200mW /adjustable [OLNRL200] - $44.99 : O-Like, Quality Products, Great
Prices
it's a great laser and i reccomend it to everyone! so, lets get started with
the review!
LOOKS
the look and feel of this laser is amazing! It feels like its heavy duty! The
laser is heavy but not too heavy, especially for its size. It looks like a small
flashlight, and can fit in your pocket. Its not big at all. This laser seems like
it can put up with a hard fall and more! even though i dont recommend it
.
I love the diamond-shaped ridges, its a great addition! The only problem i
can see here is, the on/off button is a little loose, which may cause some
rattleing. Its not a big problem and wont affect the preformance at all.
here's some pics:

PERFORMANCE
I must say, this laser exceeded my expectations! The Focusing nob twists
nice and smooth, providing a better focus. This laser can burn things from
up close and from afar. With some careful focusing, the farthest i was able
to light a match was 25 feet (7.62 meters)! Im sure you can go farther than
that, thanks to the focusing mechanism on this laser. You can still do the
usual with it, such as pop balloons etc. but you can also ignite firework fuses
and black powder with this laser too! The laser is blindingly bright, so
safety goggles are extremely recommended! The only bad thing about the laser
is the ring around the beam at close range. when you are focusing this laser
at close range, you'll notice two rings around the laser, its not a big problem. its hardly
noticeable from afar, however, it wont interfere with the awesome preformace this
laser has to offer.

the laser unfocused (it looks like a big red planet):
the laser rings (sorry about the bad quality):
Shipping
this doesn't really have anything to do with the laser, but i thought i'd add a
little review about it too. I ordered from o-like and susie was great! she
shipped my package a couple days after i ordered and she e-mailed me the
tracking number. I ordered my laser to come in two different packages to
ensure it got past the US customs check. i received my batteries, charger
and tail-cap in about a 9 days. My laser came in 18 days :/ my postal
service (USPS) also didn't update the tracking number of my package until
it arrived at my house. so i was kind of bummed out about that. My laser
came in bubble-wrap all nice and packaged. so it was in the best shape
when it arrived at my house. all in all A+ to susie.
to finish off this review, i'd like to add some pro's and con's about this laser.
Pro's
-Burns awesome!
-Heavy duty style
-Great focusing knob!
-Extremely bright laser and beam
-Small, great size
Con's
-The on/off button is a little loose, causing a slight rattle, but its nothing too bad.
-Battery life is short, but then again, i used it non-stop the entire day
-The two rings around the laser
All in all, this is a great laser! get it!
